The three of them busied themselves until nine or ten o’clock before they were ready to go to bed. Li Guoguo first went into the bathroom to wash up, leaving Xu Tian and Mo Yan behind. Mo Yan crossed her arms and half-lay on the table to look at Xu Tian’s side profile.
“Sister Xu, you look so pretty when you smile. Why don’t you like to smile?”
Ever since Mo Yan first saw Xu Tian in the bathroom, Xu Tian had never changed her style. She always wore gold-rimmed glasses, wore her hair in a long ponytail, and wore a professional suit. She never smiled.
Xu Tian glanced at Mo Yan without saying a word. She continued with her work. She was dead-set on avenging herself for the humiliation she suffered last time. She was going to humiliate the Deputy General Manager like how he humiliated her.
Seeing that Xu Tian was ignoring her, Mo Yan stuck out her tongue and checked her phone to see if there were any new messages.
There was a message from Xu Wan asking why she had suddenly returned the money? Did she still have money on her hands? If not, she would rather get paid back later.
Mo Yan thought about it and replied with a smiley face, adding that it was Luo Tao who had given her the money.
[Luo Tao actually gave you money!!!]
Xu Wan replied very quickly. Three exclamation marks in a row showed how shocked she was.
[Yes! Luo Tao said that his friend returned the money that he had borrowed from him, so he transferred the money to me. He said that it was for me to buy things in Jing City.]
Xu Wan quickly sent a shocked emoji followed by a sentence.
[He has friends? How much money did he send you? ]
Mo Yan was unhappy when she saw this. Why was it shocking that Luo Tao had friends? She replied with an angry emoji. Mo Yan continued, “He sent me 20,000 yuan. His friend must have returned all the money he had back to him.”
Xu Wan didn’t reply for a long time. After a while, Mo Yan’s phone vibrated.
“Tsk, I didn’t expect Luo Tao to miss you so much.”
“Of course, he’s my husband.”
[So what if you have a husband? I’ll have one in the future too. I’ll get him to transfer money to me and buy things for me.]
[Get a husband before saying so much!]
Mo Yan kept undermining Xu Wan, so Xu Wan sent a bunch of angry expressions every time she replied.
Finally, Xu Wan ended their conversation with one sentence.
[Alright! Enjoy your shopping trip in Jing City!]
“What shopping trip? I’m here to work!”
Xu Wan didn’t reply after that. It seemed that she was done with Mo Yan for the night.
After Li Guoguo washed up, Mo Yan let Xu Tian go wash up next. She was the last one to go.
As she swiped her phone screen, Mo Yan’s gaze stopped at the message of Luo Tao transferring money to her. She thought of the question from before again. How long was she going to lie to Luo Tao?
“Mo Yan, what are you looking at?” Li Guoguo walked to Mo Yan’s side and asked.
Mo Yan did not avoid the question and showed her the screen.
“Why do you make me pity myself so much right before bed?”
Li Guoguo’s statement made Mo Yan laugh. She patted her head and said, “Go to bed quickly. We have to get up early to work tomorrow.”
“Okay! Sigh, I hope I’ll dream of my Prince Charming tonight.”
Hearing Mo Yan’s words, Li Guoguo lay on the bed and soon began to snore.
The bathroom door opened and closed, and Xu Tian walked out as well.
This was the first time Mo Yan saw Xu Tian with her long hair down. She was not wearing glasses, nor was she wearing a set of old-fashioned clothes. Xu Tian’s sweet beauty amazed even a girl like her.
Mo Yan had always found Xu Tian beautiful, but she did not expect Xu Tian to actually be much more beautiful that she had thought.
“Sister… Sister Xu?” Mo Yan stuttered.
Xu Tian turned her head and looked at her in confusion.
“Sister Xu, you are really pretty.”
Mo Yan could tell that Xu Tian was annoyed when she heard her words. She looked like she wanted to roll her eyes.
“Go wash up.”
Xu Tian’s voice was very cold. Mo Yan quickly went into the bathroom.
…
The sudden silence made Mo Yan feel a little uncomfortable.
She glanced at her phone, the screen was still on the page where she and Luo Tao were chatting.
Suddenly, Mo Yan really wanted nothing but to hear his voice.
